Too harsh man. This just proves that even the best players can have droughts. Last season RVP didn't score in 9 consecutive games and he was the league's top scorer.tbarber said:Sick of negredo moping and whining, his body language is shocking. He's got God given talent, strength and pace as we've all seen yet looks beaten before he's taken a shot. Find some cohanas and get in form even if it is too late for the team. Your performances earlier now count for nothing because of your pissing and whining and complete ineffectiveness since. SUarez doesn't mope and complain just gives everything he's got, your temperament and sulkiness is dragging down the team around you. Start being responsible, earn your vast salary and score some fookin goals for gods sake!!!
Negredo has great attitude, every time I see him interact with his teammates he always has a smile on. And I can guarantee he will be back. The man is class!
edit: also Suarez has a very weak record against top teams.

Negredo has started just one of City’s last five games, but insisted he had not given up on going to Brazil as part of Spain’s World Cup squad.
“It’s my dream to be involved in the World Cup,” said the 28-year-old. “It would be great and I’m fighting for it.
“Not playing regularly means the national manager has not seen much of me - but I won’t give up. Quite the contrary - I am full of optimism. I believe he will still have confidence in me.
"I will carry on working hard in training and score as many goals as possible.It’s about carrying on with the same dynamic that served me so well earlier in the season.”
“I settled in right from the word go, although initially my time on the pitch was limited,” said Negredo. “But I worked hard and when I got the chance I scored goals.
“I then picked up a shoulder injury, which affected things. We were struggling up front suffering from injuries and needed all the support we could get.
Hot and cold: Negredo hit 23 goals in his first 33 City games, then none in his last 14
Alvaro Negredo is determined not to let his Manchester City goal drought wreck his World Cup dream.
Negredo, who scored at a prolific rate at the start of the season, has not netted in 14 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's title-chasers.
The Spain star’s last goals came in City’s 3-0 Capital One Cup semi-final, second leg at West Ham in January.
A shoulder injury, coupled with a loss of form and confidence, has seen Negredo lose his status as an automatic pick, with Edin Dzeko ahead of him in the Blues' pecking order.

Which side will win the Premier League?
Liverpool

Manchester City
Negredo, a £20million signing from Sevilla last summer, made an immediate impact at City, scoring 23 goals in 33 appearances.
He quickly formed an understanding with strike partner Sergio Aguero, but January 21 at Upton Park was the last time Negredo got on the score-sheet, a shoulder problem he picked up when falling awkwardly in that game marking the start of his barren spell.

“I was playing games when I wasn’t fully fit - but things have turned around now and I am fit again. I am not featuring as regularly as before.
“I turned it around earlier in the season so I have to turn things around again. It’s a case of working hard to get as many minutes on the pitch as possible to repay their faith in me.”
Despite his dip in form, the man whose playing style lead to him being nicknamed The Beast, remains a cult hero among City fans and is desperate to start scoring again to help the Etihad club win the title.
“The fans have been great with me since the start,” said Negredo. “The first time my dad was at a game he heard this [chant] and thought, ‘Why are they booing my boy?’ Fortunately my wife explained that it’s a way of appreciating me and represents my strength and bravery.
“I’ve been delighted with the way the fans accepted me. I will be fighting hard to return their support.”

The way I see it when they were purchased, Jovetic was meant to be Aguero's backup and Negredo was meant to be Dzeko's backup . This is why we rarely see, Jovetic and Aguero together and Negredo and Dzeko together.
The problem is both Jovetic and Aguero have been injured for a good part of the season and when Negredo got injured we had no choice but to transition to play a single forward. Credit has to go to Dzeko also who carried it pretty well on his own. Add to this that we are no longer in CL, all the forwards are back to healthy and it's easy to see why Negredo's playing time has shrunk.
I think Pellegrini wants to play with two forwards, Aguero with Negredo and Dzeko with Jovetic. And ideally all forwards will probably be seeing similar amount of time on the pitch.
Inter's owner when asked about Dzeko was recently quoted saying: "I only announce the players that we sign, not the players that we dream about"
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2014/04/29/4784130/zanetti-to-retire-this-summer-and-become-inter-director" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/20 ... r-director</a>
Which leads me to believe that Dzeko might actually be staying as well (but then again anything is possible, there is certainly interest which is likely to grow after WC).
edit: another interesting fact is Dzeko only has 30 more minutes played in the League games. So can't really complain that much considering he has been injured too.

Like the Dzeko, you have to credit his mentality. To come and make such an instant impact in a tough league is fantastic. His loss of form has come following his injury and a change in our formation - everyone was struggling for form and you look at the strikers quite critically. Fortunately Dzeko has stepped in and done extremely well - showing the hunger and desire that we require of him. Negredo has a strong mentality and a fighting attitude and he will be a great player for the club - he works hard and holds the ball up well and has had a great season despite his dip in form. 23 goals in all competitions for his first season here is pretty incredible.

Well if he gets on the pitch we'll probably be desperate so who knows? He needs to find his mojo again, don't know what's happened to it since that shoulder injury.

Dzeko has played him out of the team, credit to Edin.
